Before the plane crashes into the lake, a bird hits the windshield and shatters the glass. When the plane does crash and sink into the lake, the windshield is seen underwater in perfect condition. [Only the pilot's windsheild is blown out from the bird strike, not the passenger's side, which is the only side shown once the plane is underwater.]

Before the plane crashes into the lake, a bird hits the windshield and shatters the glass. When the plane does crash and sink into the lake, the windshield is seen underwater in perfect condition. [Only the pilot's windsheild is blown out from the bird strike, not the passenger's side, which is the only side shown once the plane is underwater.] In the first scene they get off the jet and into that old red plane. Anthony Hopkins character is talking to someone, and we hear the engine of the red plane starting to turn over, but if you look closely for a split second over Anthony Hopkins left shoulder the prop of the plane is not even moving. Now I know nothing about planes but I do know that the prop is attached to the crankshaft which should turn when the engine is turned over to start. [That's a De Havilland Otter floatplane, and what you hear is the magneto-fired starter motor turning over. The engine hasn't fired and the propellor is still, as it should be.] Near the end of the movie, when Bob falls down the dead fall, he is lying at the bottom in agony. Yet in the next scene, Charles/Hopkins plonks Bob down on the table in the lodge. Now that deadfall was some 8ft deep. How did old timer Hopkins lift a full grown man out of the pit? Bob's leg was clearly useless having had a giant spike through it. Did Hopkins have a ladder in his back pocket? [There was a rope ladder behind Hopkins. Anyone trying to trap an animal would also have to go down to get it out.] In the scene where they try to hit the bear with a swinging rock, where does the rope come from? [The rope was made from strips of bark.] After Bob and Charlie kill the bear, they are shown wearing clothing made from the bearskin. How did they cure the skin? A raw hide would not work for garments. [The brain is an excellent tanning medium, actually, and was commonly used by outdoorsmen without access to name-brand poducts. I admit, however, that their clothes were awfully well made for a first attempt.]You may also like: I Am Legend | Legends of the Fall | American Psycho | 300 | The River Wild
